Chapter 221: City of Chaos

The history of human civilization is a history of the evolution of warfare.

In modern warfare, soldiers fighting bravely are no longer the only factor that dominates the outcome of a war.

In such a large-scale group operation as Nanjing, the information communication between the two belligerents plays a very crucial role, and this is related to the coordination of defense, perseverance, and mutual cooperation among the various units; once the information communication is not smooth, the soldiers of the various units will face a situation of fighting alone, so that they cannot see the direction and despair.

Tang Shengzhi ran, and the officers below began to convey the order to retreat to the various departments.

The streets of Nanjing City were full of shouting crowds, running like headless flies in a daze, and the liaison officers who gave the order to retreat were trying to convey the order to retreat to the various departments in such a chaotic crowd.

On the positions in front of the city gates, artillery explosions were raging, and many city walls had fallen under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese army, and commanders at all levels had to order the soldiers to withdraw to the city and hold on to it.

A group of Japanese death squads screamed and charged from the collapsed city walls to the city, seeing the crying crowd in the city with nowhere to run, they saw the pleasure of being in front of these people after becoming gods, and their faces were full of madness, like wild beasts!

"Hit!"

In the twilight, Xie Chengrui, the colonel of the teaching corps, was roaring wildly, and the machine gunners lying in ambush on both sides pulled the trigger fiercely, and the whistling bullets intertwined into a fiery red bullet chain in the dark night, like the sickle of death, and strangled towards the hordes of Japanese troops.

Ahhh

The Japanese army screamed and fell like wheat, but there were too many devils, and under the stimulation of the huge benefits after the breakthrough of Nanjing, they were almost crazy, and they rushed in from the gap in the city gate and city wall, and the position of Guanghua Gate was about to be breached.

"Brothers, behind us are the people of the whole city, we can't let the little devils in, rush up with me and kill these beasts!"

Xie Chengyun was yelling frantically, holding a big knife in his hand, and personally led the team to rush towards the crazy Japanese army, slashing a rushing Japanese soldier to the ground with a knife, raising his arms and shouting in the splattered blood.

"Kill!"

"Hack these bastards!"

On the battlefield, the main general took the lead, and the morale of the soldiers was instantly greatly boosted, and one by one rushed out of the position like a tiger, holding bayonets, waving large blades, and rushing towards the enemy with a roar.

The blood-pumping roar, the muffled sound of the blade penetrating the flesh, the splattered blood, and the screams made the entire Guanghuamen position turn into a hellish slaughterhouse!

The Japanese soldiers and soldiers have already killed red eyes, entangled, biting and rolling like wild beasts, and the tragedy is so tragic that words cannot describe it.

"Withdraw and see how long they can hold out!"

Seeing the completely fatal and increasing casualties on the battlefield, the Japanese officers gave the order to retreat, and they are now in a hurry, and in every battle, morale and energy will be weakened a little bit, and then decline, three and exhaustion, everyone understands this art of war!

A group of Japanese soldiers were blocked in the cracks of the city wall, and there was no time to evacuate and nowhere to escape, but they were not willing to be trapped to death like this, but desperately relied on the collapsed city wall, constantly shooting, shooting and killing batch after batch of soldiers who tried to attack.

"Bring gasoline and burn them!"

Xie Chengrui roared, burning the enemy to death is an extremely cruel thing, but this is a battlefield, and any cruel thing cannot be called cruelty, because this is an endless battle, either you die or I die!

Some soldiers risked their lives to climb up the cracks in the city wall, poured several barrels of gasoline down, ignited them, and the sky-high flames instantly turned the cracks where more than 200 Japanese soldiers were hiding and resisting into a burning furnace!

Ahhh

Hundreds of Japanese soldiers instantly turned into burning men one by one, screaming miserably, the skin and flesh crackling in the violent burning, and the scorching smell was disgusting!

"Damn the Shina man"

Seeing this scene, the eyes of the Japanese army were about to split, and they jumped like thunder, everyone knew that being burned alive by the fire was simply the most painful way to die in the world!

"Long live the Emperor"

Many Japanese soldiers who could not be extinguished at all on fire rushed out of their hiding places with flames all over their bodies in the terrible howl, and rushed towards the position again, countless fire men were killed on the way to attack or burned to death on the road, but more Japanese troops rushed into the position, regardless of the soldiers rolling together and burning together!

"Ahhh

Xie Chengrui was also hugged by a Japanese soldier covered in fire, screaming and screaming, and finally after being rescued by several soldiers, the whole person was seriously injured.

"Take the head of the regiment away, we will resist the little devils"

Seeing Xie Chengrui's tragic situation, some low-level officers roared, and tears fell from their eyes, and they couldn't bear to see it.

"I'm not leaving, no one is allowed to leave without an order to retreat!"

Xie Chengrui roared: "If we leave now, the Japanese army will pour into the city, and this battle will be a complete failure, and we can't go, I won't go, no one is allowed to go!" ”

"Okay, let's not go, fight with the little devil to the end!"

The soldiers wept silently and shouted, for the honor of the soldiers, for the sake of their regimental commander, they are willing to put these hundred or ten catties on this position!

However, there are so many city gates in Nanjing, and the guards are not all men who are not afraid of death like this.

There are many positions that have been breached, and the routs have flocked to Xiaguan, and many ordinary people have also fled towards Xiaguan, rushing to the necessary place to enter Xiaguan Wharf, Rujiangmen!

The Japanese army poured into the city, shooting unscrupulously, shooting any living thing in sight on the spot, those who retreated from the various breached positions, but also the target of the Japanese army, in order to survive, some people began to take off their military uniforms, put on the clothes of the common people, in order to survive.

The city of Nanjing had fallen into a state of semi-collapse, and it was in this state of semi-collapse that those liaison officers conveyed the order to retreat to various positions, some successfully conveyed the order to retreat, and some were shot and killed on the way.

What is even more shameful is that knowing how important this military situation is, some liaison officers saw those brutal Japanese soldiers who shot and strafed, and saw the corpses all over the ground, and were frightened, and no longer had the courage to complete the task, and blended into the crowd of routed civilians, wanting to flee with them.

"Hit, hit"

In the Tongjimen position, the tragic battle is still continuing, the corpses are everywhere, there are not many soldiers left, and Brigade Commander Yi Anhua also personally participated in the battle and fought bravely!

Bang!

An old Japanese soldier coldly pulled the trigger, and Yi Anhua was shot in the waist and died on the way to kill.
